Care for your liver


Your liver is as vital to your health as your heart and lungs are.But do you know how to keep it healthy?It can be as simple as leaving clean,eating crunchy veggies,and eyeing your supplements.Her's what we mean by that:
Vital parts:Your liver isn,t just a place to offer out tequila shots.All of the blood that has visited your small intestine flows through the liver,where it gets deoxified.A big job,but something has to do it.Here are some tips to help your liver help you: Leave clean,reduce your personal pollution so there's less to filter out,drink filtered water,eat unprocessed food,choose veggie protein over red meat,and practice safe sex.And yes,keep the mojitos to the minimum.
Add crunchy veggies:Cruciferous produce (like brocoli and cabbage),B-rich foods(like whole grains),and high c items(like citrus fruit and leafy greens)asits the liver's detoxifying process.

Consider a supplement:Lecithin(egg yolks and soya beans are good sources)and zinc supports liver function,and you may want to consider supplementing your diet wityh them if you don't get much naturally.Herbs like milk thistle and dandelion may help the liver function,too,but consult your doctor before taking them.Don't take too much vitamin A.If you do,you risk liver problems,including cirrhosis.
